Chris McVeighs work is pretty dope





Chris McVeigh is an author, illustrator and photographer that lives in Halifax, NS. He started with photography in 2007 when a friend insisted that he should purchase a digital SRL. Chris is a natural talent! He now excels at creating clever, quirky and often comical pictures that employ everything from action figures to backyard wildlife. (In fact, a combination of the two garnered the attention of Lucasfilm, who featured his picture on the front page of starwars.com!)

The Earths Core

Creative Room Dividers


Paravent by Mona Hatoum (UK) - Based on a fold-out cheese grater scaled up to the size of a room divider or screen giving it surreal and architectural dimensions.




Water Bottle Privacy Screen by Klein Dytham- made from recycled water bottles




Natural Tree Branch Divider by Natsiq Outdoor features towering tree branches attached to a lacquered stainless steel base. It acts much the same way a natural privacy screen of trees would, allowing in just the right amount of light and breaking up the space without closing it off.

Banksy Versus Bristol Museum, AMAZING!!!!!!



Tomorrow is the opening of Banksy’s exhibition at the Bristol Museum. 100 works will be shown and this quote of the master himself sums it up perfectly: “This is the first show I’ve ever done where taxpayers’ money is being used to hang my pictures up rather than scrape them off”.
This is mandatory for everyone close to Bristol till August 31st!
THE ENTRY IS FREE

Modern Sofas with Vibrant Colors



Roche Bobois shows their European roots with hot colors for sofas from their "Les Contemporains" collection that tastefully makes a statement without going over board, of course over board is subjective. I have always had high regard for the Roche Bobois modern furniture collection and if you have ever visited one of their store is hard not to. Here are some of the sofas, ottomans, and decorative home accessories that are anything but mundane and offer a bright and optimistic way to deck out your living room.
